Hello there! I am a Singaporean artist living in Canada with my husband and daughter. My husband and daughter are both Canadians and the way we pronounce some words are very different, and I find it very interesting! I have created some comics (with audio) and I hope that you all enjoy the comics! You can find more of my comics here: https://www.instagram.com/ksf_comics/

Thank you for reading! :)
